Despite three weeks of fierce battles, Russian forces have not managed to take Izyum, the eastern Ukrainian city where 20,000 people are surrounded by Russian forces, risking life and limb if they try to escape.
We stopped to talk to a small group of Ukrainian soldiers several kilometres from the front."It is impossible to get there. If you are talking about our last position [on the road to Izyum], everything that goes there explodes. I don't recommend it," explained a member of the tank crew called Kot.
The Ukrainian military has made some limited gains over the past few days in places, and the unit members seemed to think they could win. "Don't you feel vulnerable in that thing?" I said, pointing to his tank."You can hear Russian planes circling overhead."
